I almost didn't end up birding at all today but couldn't resist popping in to Brooklands Pleasure Park mid-afternoon for a quick look through the gulls. Lo and behold there was a juvenile
Yellow-legged Gull, as well as a 2cy
Mediterranean Gull, two adult
Lesser Black-backed Gulls and increased numbers of fledged
Herring Gulls. A
Goldcrest was busy feeding two young. Two
Green Woodpeckers, including a juvenile, were by the stream.
Mallard broods of nine and 11 were present, and the pair of
Mute Swans with their four juveniles were also on show.
